OSEHRA’s “Open Source Software (OSS) and the Military Health System (MHS)” community enablement workshop reviewed OSS technology and product lifecycle management of OSS. It provided MHS leadership team with additional knowledge in which to base their OSS initiatives. This workshop brought together OSS experts from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and civilian sector as well as academia. The two-day workshop’s sessions presented key relevant aspects of OSS technology that might be helpful for the DoD-VA joint efforts in health information technology. The workshop event program has been uploaded to this site's library. Individual session presentations are available through this site for review (see links below).
